On page 62, of the FO-4 manual, is a picture of the "Fairbanks-Morse mageneto" and it looks like your picture. Repairing and adjusting is discussed and shown. The only thing different with a magento is that it supplies is own electrical power, and therefore ignor hooking up 6 volt battery thru the key and instead run a wire to the "grounding lug" on the magneto to a switch on the dash , and one lug to ground, therby allowing you to ground the magneto, from the seat position (this is how my DC Case magneto is hooked up). The grounding lug on the magneto is a safety design, that if you hand crank, with the tractor in gear and it started, you had a way to "Kill-it". Since their is no connection thru the shift lever lock-out and you may have a starter, you have to be very sure it is out of gear, or only start it sitting in the seat, with the clutch pushed down. The above statements, are based on "common knowledge", and not based on "an actual Ford or Ford-Ferguson wiring diagram", with a magneto, and they may have a "safety kill switch hookup to the shift lever" Charles Krammin SW MI
